Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a power steering system for a vehicle provided with means for actuating the stop & start function in a vehicle while moving, especially an industrial or commercial or special vehicle, and more precisely in a vehicle equipped with hybrid drive of the parallel type, with single clutch.
  • a type of industrial or commercial or special vehicle equipped with hybrid drive of the parallel type comprising a thermal engine 1 , an electric motor-generator 2 , equipped with a DC/AC inverter and a high-tension electric drive battery 5 , a single clutch unit 3 placed between the two engines, and a transmission system 6 comprising an automated manual transmission.
  • the latter is substantially a mechanical gearbox wherein electric actuators are present and are controlled by a specially provided control unit which manages the shifting requests and the clutch control, according to the drive management strategies of the two engines, thermal and electric.
  • a further operating mode would be provided consisting in the stop & start function while the vehicle is moving, thus increasing the time percentage in which the electric motor is working and the thermal engine is stopped.
  • the aim of the present invention is to provide a power steering system for a vehicle provided with means for actuating the stop & start function in a moving vehicle, especially an industrial or commercial or special vehicles, suitable for overcoming all the drawbacks mentioned above.
  • the subject of the present invention is a power steering system for a vehicle provided with means for actuating the stop & start function in a moving vehicle, especially an industrial or commercial or special vehicle, as described more fully in the claims, which are an integral part of this description.
  • FIG. 1 shows a general scheme of a drive system of a vehicle suitable to realize the method according to the invention
  • FIG. 2 shows a block diagram of the main vehicle functions involved in actuating the method according to the invention
  • FIG. 3 shows an embodiment of the power steering device
  • FIG. 4 shows a flowchart of the operations for enabling the stop phase of the method
  • FIG. 5 shows a flowchart of the operations for actuating the stop phase of the method
  • FIG. 6 shows a flowchart of the operations for maintaining the stop phase of the method
  • FIG. 7 shows a flowchart of the operations for activating the start phase of the method.
  • the actuation of the stop & start function in a moving vehicle is managed, namely the logic managing the function is able to evaluate instant by instant the possibility of stopping the thermal engine while the vehicle is moving if the enabling conditions are fulfilled. In the same way, it is able to restart the thermal engine while the vehicle is moving.
  • control logic controls the engine stopping considering the following variables: released accelerator pedal, vehicle speed, road slope, battery charging status, drive of the electric motor, clutch opening, activation of the EPS system which controls the electric power steering, forward gear engaged (Drive). Even if only one of the conditions set by the control logic is not verified, the engine stopping is inhibited.
  • the starting or stopping strategy of the thermal energy may be optimized if the following additional system/information are available, in order to estimate the length of the stopping phase of the thermal engine with the vehicle moving: estimate of the vehicle's payload; navigation system provided with electronic horizon, namely with the estimate of the profile and of the slope of the road in front of the vehicle, which allows to determine the time horizon in front of the vehicle.
  • the power steering is actuated by means of a coupling of a hydraulic and an electric system.
  • This allows the actuation of the stop & start function even at quite high speed.
  • the electric part alone is not enough, since the required steering torque is high, higher than a 24V electric power steering may provide (in case of an average and heavy vehicle the peak can be even of 4.5 kW): in these conditions the current withdrawal from the 24V standard battery is too high and there is the risk of discharging it, above all in case of repeated manoeuvres, while when exceeding a certain speed the required steering torque is highly reduced: for example when exceeding 30-40 Km/h the required torque is very low, at 5 Km/h already it reduces of 50%.
  • the thermal engine stops when the vehicle travels at low speed the hydraulic power steering does not work, therefore in these conditions there would be no power steering.
  • the stop & start function will be enabled only when the speed is higher than a speed threshold, namely the thermal engine will not stop at a speed lower than the threshold but only at a speed higher than the threshold, so that the only power steering intervening when exceeding the threshold will be the electric power steering, while for a speed lower than the threshold, the thermal engine will not stop, and therefore the hydraulic power steering will be working, ensuring a higher steering torque.
  • the thermal engine is completely automatically restarted, in the same way as for the stopping phase previously described, namely after verifying the status of the same system variables.
  • control logic includes a hybrid control unit for the functioning of the electric motor-generator, which performs a bidirectional dialogue with the vehicle control unit which dialogues in its turn with the control unit of the thermal engine.
  • the indications coming from the control unit of the drive battery are available to hybrid control unit, including the indication of the charging status SOC, a road slope sensor, and optionally the data coming from a navigation system and from the estimation of the vehicle's payload.
  • the signals indicating the position of the accelerator pedal and of the brake pedal are also available to the control unit.
  • the indication available may be an indication of the ON/OFF type (pedal completely released or completely pressed), or a more precise indication of the specific instant position of the pedal due to the entity of the pressure on it.
  • FIG. 4 refers to the conditions enabling the STOP phase, wherein the thermal engine is stopped.
  • the accelerator pedal is released, or the automated manual transmission requires a gear shifting.
  • While the first situation is determined by the action of the driver over the accelerator pedal, the second is independent from the driver, and depends on the information coming from the control unit of the transmission, which informs that there are the conditions for a gear shifting.
  • the system verifies if the vehicle speed is higher than a threshold value Vs (for example 35 km/h), Steering Activation Speed, namely the vehicle speed exceeding which the electric power steering may be actuated alone; on the contrary, if the vehicle speed is lower than this threshold, stopping the thermal engine will stop the necessary hydraulic contribution to the power steering.
  • Vs for example 35 km/h
  • the system verifies the activation of the EPS system which controls the electric power steering.
  • the conditions in which it does not activate are for example battery not charged enough, not enough speed, or a failure of the EPS itself. Since the hydraulic contribution to the power steering is not available, the electric part must guarantee by itself all the torque needed for steering, therefore it is important to be sure that the EPS is working, otherwise also the electric contribution to the power steering would be missing.
  • the system verifies the charging status of the drive battery of the electric motor: for example the charging level should always be higher than a threshold SOC D , e.g. 40% of the maximum charging status, in order to guarantee that the electric motor is properly powered.
  • a threshold SOC D e.g. 40% of the maximum charging status
  • the thermal engine stopping is inhibited and the STOP phase cannot start (No Stop & Start Driving), otherwise the STOP phase starts.
  • FIG. 5 refers to the action needed for the activation of the STOP phase.
  • the EPS is put in the “Stop & Start Driving” mode.
  • the motor-generator activates the control of the speed of rotation of the primary of the gearbox.
  • the motor-generator assumes the management of the speed of rotation (torque to the gearbox) of the primary of the gearbox, so that, when it intervenes, its speed of rotation is compatible with that of the gearbox in that moment.
  • the electric motor-generator is in constant mesh with the gearbox, but it can be energized or not energized, according to what is needed.
  • the clutch is open and is upstream
  • it has to adapt its initial speed of rotation with the speed of rotation of the gearbox.
  • the logic continuously controls that the conditions allowing the drive with the electric motor-generator alone are maintained, otherwise it determines the shifting to the START phase in order to restart the thermal engine, even if only one of the following conditions is no longer verified.
  • the threshold value P LIMIT-Mot is the maximum power value of the electric motor-generator, and is a constructive parameter which depends on the motor-generator installed on the vehicle, for example 44 kW.
  • the drive can continue with the electric motor-generator alone, otherwise there is the shifting to the START phase in order to restart the thermal engine, in the normal way according to the first mode described below, otherwise by means of the second mode.
  • the clutch is automatically operated by modulating a slight clutch slip, with the gearbox in mesh, and the thermal engine is restarted by exploiting the vehicle's inertia, since it is moving at a certain speed.
  • the control of the speed of rotation of the primary of the gearbox is activated again by means of the motor-generator, which controls the vehicle speed in order to avoid jerks.
  • the clutch is opened, the thermal engine is started, and then the clutch is closed, while in the second case the thermal engine is restarted with the clutch closed, then the clutch is opened for a possible gear shifting, with less transitions.
  • This kind of evaluation can be performed if a signal indicating the position of the brake pedal is available, by which it is possible to determine the braking graduality, and therefore the graduality of the speed variation of the vehicle. Then, according to the position gradient, for a sudden braking, namely for a fast decreasing speed variation, the faster mode 2 is actuated, on the contrary for a slow and gradual braking it is possible to actuate mode 1.
  • the parameters SOC D , V INF , ⁇ V MOD , P 1 and P 2 may dynamically vary if the information on the road in front of the vehicle is available, being obtained by maps, calculation of the vehicle position on a map (optional—info from the Navigation System) and or if the information on the vehicle payload estimation is available.
  • the power steering is actuated by means of a coupling of a hydraulic and an electric system.
  • a possible embodiment is illustrated in FIG. 3 .
  • the actuation is obtained by means of a steering system formed by an electric power steering actuator 7 keyed on the column 9 of a hydraulic system 8 by means of an appropriate reduction unit.
  • a specially provided control unit reads position signals, torque to the steering and vehicle speed, and controls the electric motor of the electric power steering which provides the right torque for steering the vehicle with a good comfort and a low effort by the driver.
  • the hydraulic actuator is controlled by the thermal engine, therefore when the latter is stopped the actuator does not work.
  • the electric actuator on the contrary, is controlled by the EPS system according to the following operating modes.
